Coloured was a legally defined racial classification during apartheid referring to anyone not white or not a member of one of the aboriginal groups of Africa on a cultural basis, which effectively largely meant those people of colour not speaking any indigenous languages. The coloured community of South Africa has always felt marginalised as they have not always been regarded as  pure black or pure white. Their heritage has always been questioned and they always been associated with negativity and our democratic government hasn’t always firmly acknowledged issues that the coloured community has always raised. This evening on our Political Analysis we’re joined by Lynsey Ebony Chutel, a journalist, writer, a reporter for the New York Times and has worked for South African and international news outlets, and Tessa Dooms is a Director at the Rivonia Circle. She is a sociologist, political analyst, who’ve written a book that looks at the history, origins and background who the coloured people are and as well as their heritage and culture.

After much anxiety and clenched butt-cheeks, Springboks came through at the last minute beating England 16-15 on Saturday landing them a spot in the finals against New Zealand.

In local sports, Kaizer Chiefs’ fans expressed their frustrations at Coach Ntseki after losing to Amazulu FC, things haven’t been going well for them since the start of the team. What’s missing? What needs to change? EWN sports reporter Mawande Mateza will join us to discuss this.

This evening on Medical Matters we talk about urticaria (ur-tih-KAR-e-uh), also known as HIVES. Urticaria is a skin reaction that causes itchy welts. Hives usually go away without treatment, but antihistamine medication is often helpful in improving symptoms and sometimes the cause of chronic hives isn't clear. Chronic hives are welts that last for more than six weeks and return often over months or years. Prof. Jonny Peter, Head of the Division of Allergology and Clinical Immunology at Groote Schuur and the UCT Lung Institute, joins us to help us understand this disease a little bit more better.
